Olga Louchakova-Schwartz
Olga Louchakova-Schwartz is Professor Emerita of Psychology and Comparative Religion, Professor of Philosophy of Religion, and Clinical Professor at the University of California at Davis. Her research of Tibetan Meditation at the Neurophenomenology Center in the Silicon Valley (which she founded and for several years directed) was featured on BBC and Science Daily. She is the Founding President of the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience. She published more than 200 articles and book chapters in comparative philosophy of consciousness, spirituality, emergent religious phenomena, and phenomenology of life. She is the editor and contributing author of The Problem of Religious Experience: Case Studies in Phenomenology, with Reflections and Commentaries (Springer 2019), an editor of guest series of issues with Open Theology (De Gruyter), and is currently working on two books, Husserl and Suhrawardi: A Phenomenological Dialogue (Springer), and Religious Experience and Description: An Anthology (Lexington Press).
For a long time, the philosophically difficult topic of religious experience has been on the sidelines of phenomenological research (with a notable exception of Anthony Steinbock, who focused on mysticism). The book The Problem of Religious Experience: Case Studies in Phenomenology, with Reflections and Commentaries brings together preeminent as well as emerging voices in the field, with fresh views on the topic. Originating from dialogues of the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience, these two volumes cover a spectrum of phenomenological approaches, with a thematization of the field in the form of case studies. Contributions from theology, comparative religion, psychology and the philosophy of religion come together in the commentaries and meta-narrative written by Olga Louchakova-Schwartz (the editor). Volume I, The Primeval Showing of Religious Experience, examines religious experience with regard to its lived “interiority”, in light of the problem of the ego cogito, including the recent research on the embodiment of subjectivity and phenomenological materiality. Volume I also sheds light on religious experience in regard for the problems of its constitution, passive synthesis, the world, and otherness. Volume II, Doxastic Perspectives in the Phenomenology of Religious Experience, addresses the phenomenology of revelation, shows how different approaches treat the question of essence in religious experience (i.e., what is it that makes religious experience religious?), and demonstrates how religious experience contributes to the psychological horizon of meaning. The book identifies the “growing edges” in the phenomenological research of religious experience and is useful for psychologists, philosophers, and theologians alike.
